    Can you do that through the EG4 AP or is it interface only?

    18kpv Refrigerator causing light flickering

    I've been working with the development. This question was really to see if anyone knew of anything that could 'cushion' the load draw from the refrigerator. I thought a power conditioner may hold a more steady voltage. When this refrigerator isn't running there aren't any issues. The 'beta'...

    18kpv Refrigerator causing light flickering

    The lights just don't flicker when the compressor is starting up. They flicker the entire time, mostly. RPReplay_Final1714473770.mov

    If you don’t know the answer, no need to comment. That’s why I don’t comment on space exploration, because I know nothing about it.

    18kpv Refrigerator causing light flickering

    This is every light in the house. 60 lights or so. It was something recent with the firmware changes that introduced it. Didn't happen this bad before. Moreover, the refrigerator circuit is 100% causing it. We flip that off, and the issues go away entirely (at least the light flickering)(

    Typically don’t have a lot of lights on during the day, so can’t call that. Night for sure.

    18kpv Refrigerator causing light flickering

    Are there any power conditioners or something that can assist with a commercial refrigerator compressor causing lights to flicker and flicker bad. Narrowed it down to the refrigerator and potentially the ice maker. Same circuit, in the garage. 18kpv is running the entire home. When on line...

    EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    Changelog shows new monitor page. Looks like it’s just showing different information below the old layout? What does the yellow background represent on some bubbles and not others?

    need advice on signature solar

    I can tell you my experience. They did take my 6500ex’s back and exchange at full value for the 6000xp’s. One of my 6500ex units had a malfunction. I did not want to accept a refurbished unit so they provided store credit for the 6000xp. Once the 6000xp arrived, I installed and shipped back...

    Questions for owners of the 18k pv

    had 6500’s and now have 6000’s and an 18k. 18k has some flicker on heavy load startup. Anyone found or done anything to fix this?

    Signature Solar; seriously?

    Eh, it finally ended. I was prepared to be petty, dramatic and rude. But I'll hold it for now, second 6000XP is in que.

    Signature Solar; seriously?

    I’m posting this as a placeholder for my for sure much longer post tomorrow when they don’t do what they said they were going to do for weeks now. I’m giving one more opportunity for my call with them that we have sorta scheduled since they refuse to call me after saying “we don’t want you on...

    EG4 6000XP and SolarAssistant

    So network and internet are different. Not suggesting you didn’t know that but Luxpower only works through a Wireless connection to SA. You will need a network but not necessarily internet traffic available.

    6000xp /w Solar Assistant and DIY Batteries

    Have good coms between SA and inverter. Batteries are communicating fine (Seplos - JK BMs) with the 6000xp. However, would enjoy seeing the individual cell voltages, etc from having the batteries communicate with SA. Is this possible? I have a EG4 Coms Hub (I also have LifePower batteries)...

    Solar Assistant Automations and the EG4 6000XP

    It does not, in fact, suck. I would say it is beta, sure, but haven’t yet found any issues.

    Ahh, I guess I should have elaborated better. I have more than one solar setup. I have a house that has EG4 batteries and my primary residence, I have custom built batteries, Seplos. Believe it is JK BMs.

    I have an EG4 Communications Hub but I have custom built batteries, so guess that will not work.

    Solar assistant questions

    I have the LifePower4 batteries. Has two ports. First port of battery one goes to inverter. Port two goes to battery two and so forth. Is there a method to run communication to SA and my Inverter?

    New EG4 6000XP Install

    Traveling, and only on my phone. But the two balanced IP’s from AWS keep hitting a UK DNS server first. Only port 80 is open, not leaving much to go on but AWS isn’t bouncing much. And there are no other records. I will say that L7 “stuff” is still better than not having the “stuff”...

    New EG4 6000XP Install

    Everything has been good to go. No more Chinese routes. The comment above from someone about “geo detection” stuff is a little funny. I don’t think you quite understand. But please setup a Chinese VPS and trick us all.

    I did update the batteries. I had these batteries working on my 6000xp first. I had to make my own cable due to distance.

    EG4 18PKV to EG4 LifePower4

    I have an 18pkv that is installed outside of a garage. We have installed two EG4 Battery Racks with 12 100ah EG4 LifePower4 batteries. Having an issue getting the batteries to communicate with the inverter. They are all installed correctly and addressing set. This is from the 18pkv...

    Well I must say I’m impressed. Jenny saw my Issues on here with some of the quality issues and has emailed me. She is sending out a few of the replacement parts to get the kits squared away. I’m been extremely impressed with the process. The ordering was a little finicky, but I would...

    I'm new! First post. Been digging in!

    My latest 6000xp did not have the holes lined up but did have the mounting corrected from one of the earlier reviewed videos where you couldn’t reach the holes while hanging the unit. I can ( and did but do not recommend) hold the unit against the backer board with one hand and screw it in with...
